Suzana Achey - Fine Artist
Suzana Achey is an established Portrait Artist who also enjoys nature photography and exploring different techniques of creating fine art in varying styles. The artist has had a life long interest in artistic portraiture. To her, each portrait is an opportunity to express the unique spirit of the individual and to bring joy to others. As a young woman, Suzana attended the Art & Design School (NYC) and studied life drawing at the Parson School of Design (NYC). Even though she loved being an artist, Suzana was not sure she wanted to pursue a career in art. She had a desire to do something that would make a positive difference in the lives of others. Therefore, she chose to study Psychology and afterwards started her career in Human Services working with people that faced developmental, mental and emotional challenges. Her artwork took a backseat for many years. In 2001, Suzana rediscovered the joy she feels when drawing, and eventually developed her talents enough to start accepting portrait commissions, first in charcoal and ink, then pastel, and most recently she started oil painting. The artist found the most rewarding part of drawing or painting for others is when it brings them joy or peace. This often happens when a commission is requested as a special gift for someone or a portrait of a loved one that had passed on. With the work she does, Suzana connects with people on a spiritual level and focuses on service to others. She has discovered that there are always opportunities to positively touch the lives of others in the work that one does if it is done with love.
